Tlie other day a man and woman came to a halt on Grand River street, and the woman dropped the basket she was carrying and called out: "I will ! I will ! I'll not live with you another day I" ''You'll leave me will you ?" he calmly asked. "Yes; I will." "When ?" "Now right off this minute 1" "You'll go away?" "Yes, sir." "I wouldn't if I were you." "But I will, and I defy yon to prevent me. I havo suffered at your hands as long as I can put up with it." "Oh, I shan't try to stop you," he quietly replied. "I'll simp ly report to the police that my wife lias mysteriously disappeared. They will want your description, and I shall jjive it. You wear No. 7 shoes; you have an extra large mouth; yon walk stiff in your knees; your nose turns up at the end; hair the color of a brick terra coota, the newest in the fashion; eyes rather on the squint; voice partakes of " "Wretch, you wouldn't dare to do that !" she screamed. "I certainly will, and the description will go into all the pa pers." They glared at each other for a minute like cats. Then he walked on. She looked up and down the street, gritted her teeth together, and then picked up her basket and followed on after him. He had what they called the dead wood on her. Detroit Free Pi-ess.

The New York Times copies from the Cornhill Magazine the following description of Yosemite Falls: The width of the stream at the summit is about 2G to 30 feet, but at the base of the upper fall it has expanded to a width of fully 300 feet; and, as the wind carries it to one side or the other it plays over a Sace of about a thousand feet in width of a precipi tous rock face, 1,600 feet in depth. This is the height of the upper fall. As seen from below, the Yosemite, though divided into three distinct falls, apparently all on one plane. It is only when you reach some point from which you see it sideways that you realize that the great upper fall lies fully a quarter oi :t mile further back than the middle and lower falls, and that it rushes down this space in boiling cascades till it reaches a per pendicular rock, over which it leaps about 600 feet, and then gives a third and final plunge of about 500, making up a total of a little under 2,700 Now, if you can realize that the height ofNiagara is 162, you will perceive that if some potent magician could bring it into the valley it would be effectually concealed by trees of fully its own hight, many far overtopping it. Niagara, of course, makes up in width what she lack? in hight. The Horse-shoe or Canadian Fall is about 150 feet. The width is 2,100 feet. The American Fa'.l is about 160 feet in height and 1,100 in in width. The total width, inclusive of Goat Island, is 4,200 feet. PHILADELPHIA'S LADY IMU.LION AIRES. Philadelphia has a good list of lady millionaires. Mrs. Thomas A. Scott leads off, with at least 110,000, 000. Mrs. Bloomfield H. Moore is near the top of tha ladder. Her hus band's personal estate was valued at $5,500,000, and this, besides his other investments, leaves the lady in pos session of an immense income. Mrs. Anna W. Baird and Mrs. Matthew Baldwin, 'both of whose husbands were in the celebrated Baldwin Lo comotive Works, are worth 82,000, 000 each. Mrs. Adolphe K. Borie is ajmillionare in her own right. When the late George Fales died, his per sonal estate was worth over $2,000, 000, and his wife and daughter di vided this as well as his other posses sions. Two daughters of Henry Rawle were left a million each by their mother, which is a good start for young ladies, and is likely to draw attention to them. Ono of the lady attendants at the Church of the Epiphany drives to the house of worship in a modest carriage. Her income $260,000 a year. If men make the money and women do spend it, a list of the various chari ties about the city shows that the ladies know where to pnt it so that it will do some good to others. Isn't that so? Philadelphia Record, THE SWEET PEA. (American Florist and Farmer.) There is no annual flower more completely satisfactory for the farm garden than the sweet pea. Its prom inent growth, its constant renewal of abundant bloom up to the time of severe frost, the variety and bright ness and harmony of colors, the sweet perfume and the long, firm stem, so convenient for nosegay mak ing, give this fine old flower a first ank. It 'grows six or seven feet high, and ia equally handsome in pyramid or cone form as a single clump, or in a row as a hedge or screen, for which it is specially adapt ed. It requires support, like other tall peas, and some of the stakes should reach to its full hight. The seed germinates more slowly and should be planted either in the fall or very early in the spring, and rath er deep. The only other special care required is to use the flower freely so that little or no seed may form to exhaust the plants, and to water copiously once a we?k. if drought occurs. Clean culture by hoeing or mulching is a requirement. OUR EDITOR'S DREAM. New York World. He fell asleep after a time, and lol he dreamed again. And it seemed to him in a vision that having armed himself with certain papers and books he once more turned his steps toward the palace and knocked at the gate. "Hello, is that yon again ?" said Peter. "What do yon wish ?" ''Let those persons again come forth," replied the editor, and this time Peter made them all come through the gate and stand outside. They came as before and uttered the same cries as before. "Why did yon not notica that big egg T sent you ?" yelled the first. "It was rotten," replied the editor. "Why didn't you write up my soda-fountain," cried the druggist. "You had your tickets printed at the other office," calmly responded the local man. "Why did you write about old Tomlinson's hens and never speak of my new gate ?" shouted the third. "Old Tomlinson paid for his ad vertisement and you did not. Here's the bill," said the editor. "Why did you spell my name wrong in the programme?" groaned the local talent. "Take a look at this manuscript of yours and see For yourself,'' said the editor with a grim smile. The rest of the company yelled their complaints in unison, and the editor calmly sorted out a series ol bills for unpaid subscriptions and presented each with one; and it was so that when they received them they all tore their hair and rushed violently down a steep place into the sea, and St. Peter taking the editot by the hand , led him within the gate OAT HEAL. The use of oat meal, says the American Cultivator, is largely on the increase in our large cities and towns, yet it is not bo extensively consumed in this country as in many of the European countries. The grain is very rich in gluten and fat, and contains a good quantity of starch and sngar, being everywhere recognized as a valuable food. It cannot be leavened into bread, but it makes good cakes. In Scotland the finer variety of oat meal is baked thin, but the coarser kind Ss made into thick cakes called bannocks. In Norway the common food of the peasantry is a thin cake, called "fiad brod," which is made of ground oats, husk and all, mixed with potatoes, and baked on a griddle or frying pan. A palatable dish is made in parts of Scotland by toasting oat meal before a bright fire, then mixing it with a little beef or mutton fat, and after seasoning it with pepper, salt and onions chopped small, again toasting it. The common method of cooking it, however, in Scotland, is by stir ring it with boiling water until it has the consistency of hasty pudding, and in this manner Scotch brose is made; but, if more diluted and boiled for a long time, it makes porridge. In Ireland it is mixed with Indian meal, and then stirred into boiling I water, thus making the mixture I called "stir about." - Whey and milk are often used instead of water, and the mixture should be well boiled, otherwise it is apt to produce flatu lence. The decorticated grain con stitutes grits or groats, and when these are crushed or bruised they go in England by the name of Emden groats, commonly used in the form of gruel. PRIVATE CROP REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING MAY 28. Chicago, May 29th, 1883. GENERAL CONDITIONS. The month of May is closing just about as it opened. The same ccld and backward weather, with unpre cedented storms of rain, wind and snow the marked features of the month. As yet we have not enjoyed a week of warm, growing weather sinco the opening of spring. As the season advances we have almost a repetition of the spring of 1881. South of the Ohio River the greater portion of May has been cold and dry. Rains have fallen recently which have added greatly to the im provement of crops in that region. From California, with abundant and additional rains up to date, (May 18), the wheat outlook has improved, and the majority of our correspondents from that State seem to think they will have from eight hundred thous and to one million tons for export. The rainfall for the season in this State overreaches 1882 by two in ches, with corresponding benefits. The Marklane Express of May 2 1st says: "It is now certain that the wheat crop will not amount to an average yield." CORN. Up to this date there are no facts connected with the growing crop of 1883 upon which we are able as yet to make any definite statements as to the outcome in the future. We therefore prefer to siate what has been rathei than what will be. In our Private Crop Report of May 10 we stated "that Nebraska and Kansas were about done with plant ing their corn." So far as the former State is concerned this has proved to be of little if any use. For the last ten days the weather in Nebraska has been unusually cold and wet; so much so that the cases are exception al where replanting has not been general.- "Various causes are assigned for a poor stand of the first planting. Kansas has her corn now all up, and in many cases it has been worked once. So far in the State of Mis souri we have many complaints of poor stand of corn resulting from imperfect seed, cold and wet weather. As soon as we cross the Misissippi River and zst into Illinois and Iowa, the two great cop' producing States of the Union, the outlook is even more discouraging. Southern Illinois makes the best bIiow as to stand of corn, in JNortliern and Central Ill inois very little corn, up to this date, been planted, and at the very time when the most of the corn ought to have gone into the ground, every thing was at a standstill owing tr. cold and wet weather and the im possibility of planting under these conditions. Iowa was a little farther advanced with her general work and planting than Illinois; but as the same bad weather prevailed in this State as in Illinois nearly all the corn which had been planted before the 15th inst. had to be replanted. Ohio makes a poor showing, and Indiana a little better. It is very plain to be seen from the above state ment that the corn situation to-day is substantially this: Poor seed, un usually cold, wet and backward weather has proved very detrimental to the first planting, and that the great bulk of the coin crop will not be in the ground before the first of June. Hence, we cannot speak defi nitely as to how good or how poor the stand of corn for 1883 will be much, if any, before the 10th of June WINTER WHEAT. May 10th we said: "The moment we go from one extreme of weather to another, that moment the crop will fall below its present standard.'' Such is the case to-day, but more particularly in Southern Illinois. Dur ing the past few days we have re ceived the most discouraging reports of the condition of wheat o f the sea son. Chess is developing very rap idly in fields which were supposed to hare the best stand, and thous ands of acres of wheat are being plowed up and put into corn. Here again we witness the effects of the damage to wheat by the Hessian fly Similar reports have also been re ceived, but not to so great an extent, from Missouri and Kausas. Ohio and Indiana show no general im provement in condition of their wheat crop, and unusually cold weather has kept the wheat very backward in Michigan. In Tennessee nnd Kentucky wheat js in full he3d. The crop at present gives no promise of anything like tho yield of 1882. Some of the early wheat will bo harvested soon after the first of June. All, or nearly all, of the whet iu tho more Southern portion of the wheat belt will be harvested by the middle of June. SPUING WHEAT AND OATS. There havo no conditions so far developed which militate against these crops giving us an average, if not a very full return. The acreage of oats everywhere has been in creased. The crop has now made a fine stand, covers the ground well and is growing hnely. lhe spring wheat is a little backward, but has made a good stand, and at present has a very encouraging prospect be fore it., June is nearly here and the plant ing season is not yet finished. L. Ev EKING HA ii & Co. IN MEMORY OF THE DEPARTED. O June 10th 1883 at the residence of her sister Mrs. Nichols, Mary Meats was called from this life to a blessed immortality. But a few days sinco this noble hearted woman was in tho full en joyment of those qualities of heart and mind that endeared her to all. Death has claimed another victim and society has lost a worthy and honored member. Mary Meats was born on the 8th day of May 1841 in Tillmgton Parish, Herefordshire England. In 1847, her parents, with their family con sisting of Mary, her four sisters and two brothers settled at Mt. Sterling, Brown Co. III. At an early age she united unto the M. E. Church of Clayton, 111., and exemplified her faith by a consistent christian life. In 1806 her brother John Rickard visited his sisters in III., and the same rear Mary Meats and her sis ter, now Mrs. Nichols accompanied their brother John fiom 111., to his home four miles south of Corvallis From that time until June 10th 1S83 Mary Meats has been tho" center of her brother's home and has born the responsibilities of her position with such ability and energy as to merit the admiration and respect of all. She has been a mother to her broth er's children from infancy until death. A noble woman has passed to the other shore. She was a true and constant friend ever ready and will ¬ ing to succor those in distress. A neighbor honored and loved by ail. Her kindly words of encouragement thrilled every heart. She died as she lived a consistent christian. Her remains were conveyed from her brother's residence in Corvallis followed by mourning friends to the Masonic cemetery, rhere all that was mortal of Mary Meats was con signed to its krindred dust. Tho Square Man. The square man mezzures the same each way, and haint got no wainny edges nor shaky lumber in him. He is free from knots and sap, and won't warp. He is clear stuff, and I don't care what yu work him np into, he won't swell and he won't shrink. He iz amung8t men what good kil dried boards are among carpenters, he won't season krack. It don't make enny difference which side ov him yon come up to, ho iz the same big ness each way, and the only way tew get at him, enny how, iz to face him. He knows he is square, and never spends enny timi tricing to prove it. The square man is one of the best shaped men the world has ever pro duced, he is one of them kind ov ehnnkj that kant alter tew fit a spot, bnt you mnst alter the spot to fit him. Josh Bitting. .

It is an encouraging feature in th" temperance work that it was decidi I by the Temperance Alliance of Ben ton county at its first session to boltt a Gospel Temperance meeting. Th lime fixed tor this meeting is not inappropriate. It is proper whil t we cherish the anniversary of om independence and liberty as a nation, that we aso recognize the fact that the hori7on of our liberties is dark ened by a cloud of bondage, more subtle, more tyranical, more deadty in its effects, more crushing and pirn -iug to the hearts of our sons amt daughters than ever overshadowed us from the mother country. Most certainly should tho temper ance work engage the attention and active, earnest effort of every chris tian. The mission of Christianity does not merely stop in being good; but like its founder it is to "go abom, doing good." Christianity is not selfish; merely saving the individual but it also reaches out its hand In save a fallen brother. It is not to setlie down in case and wrap it robes of sell righteousness around itself. Such a Christianity whether of ancient or modern type, whether vaunting itself in rich robes of nu merical splendor, or high sounding individuality; such a Christianity is not Christianity; but it is a btot traceable to the satanic breath whjoh is withering the fairest flowers of earth. It is emphatically tho work of the Gospel to impart freedom and to break the shackles of sin which bind men to the shades of misery and sorrow. This is the work of every christian. To them is committed the trust of carrying these blessed waters of life to the thir.ity and d3'ing around them. That professor of religion who is merely a silent witness of that great army of 75,000 drunkards going down before his very eyes t a drunkards hell, from every county and hamlet of our nation, knows not, or wilfully rebels against, the call of his master. Christian workers in the cause of my master "lift up your eyes." lie who closes his eyes against a stern reality, is guilty before God of the blood of souls. No longer sleep at duties post, bnt "lift up your eyes and behold the fields white un to the Harvest." A consecrated life means some thing more than spiritual enjoyment. He who places his light under tho bushel of his own selfishner-s in open disregard of his Master's word will find at last, that not every one that snith Lord, Lord; shall enter into tho Kingdom of Heaven, but "he that docth the will of my Father which is in Heaven" is the niirevckable law that will admit him to Heaven with its glories. It is proper to pray for the salvation of our som and broth ers, but when we obey the word which comraauds us to "do with our might what- our hauds find to do," then and then only will our prayers be answered. The world is tired and sick of sham work. It is time Christianity be felt in its saving in fluence. God deliver us from a cold, lifeless church-ism barren of saving power, whose "light is obsenrity," with "a name to live when it in dead. J. C. PniLOJtATh, June 9th, For Sale.
